IMO it's the search for documentation information about the current 
identifier in the edit window, started for almost every move of the caret.

If that's the reason for the excessive slowdown of the editor, the 
search should be performed by a background thread, so that the editor is 
not blocked. The search should be terminated immediately, when the caret 
moves to an different identifier.
